Chapter 093 Educational Upgrade
The biggest difference between Xiao Yun's fourth winter in another world and last winter is that sweet potatoes and potatoes can be eaten in abundance for the people of the tribe.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes that they tried to plant last year were growing well. Did a good job of drainage in the field and adequate fertilizer. Although the stems that grow out of the earth do not have the yield of tens of thousands of dollars on the earth, the yield per mu can be maintained at about 3,000 jin; but because of the need to select seeds In connection with the expansion of the cultivated area, Xiao Yun packed both of these crops in the cellar. It took ten and a half months for everyone to change their tastes, so they could not supply them at will.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes cultivated this year are a little bolder than last year...Xiao Yun planted two rounds respectively.
The first round was planted at the same time as the alfalfa, and harvested before the third alfalfa harvest. The yields of spring potatoes and spring sweet potatoes in this round were good, with an average yield of 3,000 to 3,500 jin per mu; in the second round, it was harvested together with soybeans. Autumn potatoes and autumn sweet potatoes are now available.
Due to the short growth cycle and the low yield in this round, the average yield per mu is only about 2,000 jin. The yield per mu is not high, but we have a lot of land. The well-leveled land is used to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, and two rounds a year. The annual output is naturally quite amazing... ,
The work density is not so high, and the potato and sweet potato stuffed in the warehouse cellar is naturally the time to show its charm. The first snow this winter was bigger than in previous years. I slept all night, and the bottom half of the wooden planks blocking the door was blocked by snow. The heavy snow of goose feathers was still floating. In this kind of weather, Xiao Yun couldn't hurt people no matter how cruel it was. To drive out to work, it is natural to put on a "snow break".
The tribesmen who can easily take a day's rest cheered, wrapped themselves in cotton clothes, sweaters and trousers, and then rushed out to sweep the snow with a layer of animal skins; Xiao Yun shook his head. Turned around...and summoned the canteen chef team and Dashui's work team to start processing sweet potato flour. Generally speaking, homemade sweet potato flour is best made before and after frosting in autumn, but it's not busy at that time... It's not too late to make it when it snows:
First of all, you need to grind the sweet potato stems, take the ready-made snow and melt, then used the sonw water to clean the sweet potatoes, cut it into pieces, throw it in a stone mill and grind it.
There are six hundred mouths in the tribe, and you have to take the amount of everything you do. It is said that you produce and digest by yourself, and you have to make sweet potato powder at one time. Fortunately, the yield of this thing is gratifying per mu, even if it is only planted. The annual output of 300 mu of land is one hundred and several hundred thousand catties, which can be served all the people in the tribe.
To grind so many sweet potatoes is not an easy job, running in and out just toss out everyone's sweat, and it is done when it gets dark.
The next step is to filter out the starch in the grated sweet potatoes. The easiest way is to use gauze to wash with water, filter the remaining sweet potato pieces, and cook the sweet potato rice and wheat porridge at night...
The starch water into the container let it stand overnight until it settles to the bottom. Pour out the water on the surface and shovel the starch out, put it in a basket and place it on the kang in each room for drying. When it is almost dry, you can start making sweet potato flour.
Hmm... During this period, Xiao Yun intercepted part of the dried sweet potato starch and set it aside for sugar.
Add water and make sweet potato starch into a batter, put it into a scoop-shaped container with a circular hole pierced at the bottom, hold the container and stand by the big stove with boiling water, hold the scoop in one hand, and beat the other hand, the starch batter in the scoop is forced from the hole The medium slides down like a thread, falls into the boiling water and is boiled until it becomes a deep red; then remove the cooked vermicelli, put it in snow water with ice (clear water is also ok), and hang it to dry... carry out.
Of course, you can't air it outdoors, the snow is still falling, and you can't cool it indoors where the kang is heated. In that case, the fans will stick together and turn into a dough; when thinking about it, Xiao Yun simply pushed the shelf for drying fans first. When I went to the shelter from the wind, I moved to a room where the kang was not heated. I opened the door and dried it in the shade... Occasionally, I couldn't manage that much, it was almost fine.
The first snow fell for a week without stopping, Xiao Yun also led people to consume more than 100,000 catties of sweet potatoes, and made more than 20,000 catties of sweet potato flour... The fans are still drying, and everyone hasn't eaten them yet. The sweet potatoes are boiled. The porridge is so tired that everyone is reluctant to feed it to the pigs. The canteen has to develop ways of wrapping dough and deep-frying, pressing into cakes, roasting or frying, etc. to consume...
Before the sweet potato flour was dried, Xiao Yun also made the sweet potato sugar... The production method is the same as maltose. The fresh two-leaf malt from the greenhouse is chopped up, and the sweet potato starch is watered in a ratio of 1:1.5. Adjust to the boil, add the chopped fresh malt at a ratio of ten to one, and pour four to five times the amount of water to cook thoroughly. The cooked potato flour malt milk is annealed and cooled to about 50 degrees Celsius, and then fresh malt crushed in the same proportion as that of the blending is added.
After standing for two hours, clear water appears on the surface, then boil it on fire, filter with cloth, and the filtrate is Sugar liquid: Bring the sugar liquid to a boil and boil the water for about four hours, and the result is extremely sugar.
The maltose made of sweet potato starch has the advantage that it can be formed into a semi-solid after the water is boiled, not a liquid that is easy to deteriorate; and it can be processed again on the basis of the raw sugar, such as boiling the sugar liquid and cooling it until it is not hot and then add the cooked bean's powder or dried tangerine peel powder with a round stick, pull the sugar body into white like ramen noodles, cut it with a knife, it is the white sugar cube, and pull the sugar body into silk, which is sugar shreds.
You can also add fried rice, fried soybeans, fried pine nuts, dried fruit, etc., which are as heavy as sugar liquid, and flatten the slices with a wooden board, just cut...er...um...
"It shouldn't be done for cutting cakes. It's still called "cutting sugar." Xiao Yun looked at the cut sugar with the big palm in his hand, gave the name thunder that had just popped up in his mind, and handed the cut sugar to the horns, who was constantly swallowing saliva next to him.
Oxhorn of the horns took the pine nuts fried beans, fried rice crackers, dried fruit pressed and cut into pieces with both hands, swallowed the saliva, put the sugar on the chopping board, cut a corner with a knife and threw it in the mouth. The sugar was found in the bark pocket on the belt.
"Save it for later?" Xiao Yun amused him with that look.
"Leave a little for Qiu." Oxhorn bulged his cheeks happily, said naturally.
"..." Xiao Yun stared at Oxhorn's physique earnestly, "I remember Qiu is a male. Even if he were a female, you are not suitable."
Oxhorn: "??"
"Ayun~~sweet potato vermicelli is dry, can we eat it?" Dahe rushed in violently, and as soon as she entered the door, she smelled the sweetness of the room. When she looked at the uncut large candy on the counter, she immediately pointed angrily.
"Ah, you guys made delicious food behind me !"
"How to talk, what do you mean by behind you, who was the fastest to slip away when I said help just before?!" Xiao Yun was unhappy.
"You didn't tell me you are going to make candy again!" Dahe was still very confident, and rushed to the counter to grab the candy.
"Shrink your hands!" Xiao Yun slapped Dahe's claws away, "This candy is to be given out as a reward, you have no share."
"Then he?!" Dahe gestured to Oxhorn of the bulging cheeks.
"Oxhorn." Xiao Yun tilted his head.
"Yeah!" The horns sucked and drooled, righteously, "Dahe, people who don't work can't eat, you run, and you can't eat."
Dahe was so angry that her mouth was crooked...
Let Oxhorn take Dahe out, Xiao Yun handed with a square kitchen knife specially made by the gray dwarf that the Chinese feels fighting power as soon as they get it, and cut the pressed sugar into pieces with a brush.
Still the same sentence, snacks are the best incentive mechanism when there is no internal currency circulation. Silky candies and white candies belong to the good performance award, and the cut candies with complex workmanship and rich flavor belong to the excellent award; although Oxhorn is stupid, he works hard, give him an excellent score is not over. Dahe, just give her two candies and just pass away, how handsome she is there is no special treatment with Xiao Yun~!
"Save it for later?" Xiao Yun amused him with that look.

The whole afternoon was spent in the greenhouse area. The sky was getting dark, and Xia's team returned to the living area tiredly. They went to each house to wash their hands and feet with hot water, replaced shoes that were frozen like ice, and sat down on the hot kang. Tone-the temperature in the greenhouse is about 20 degrees, which is not considered freezing, but the road from the greenhouse to the living area is enough to freeze people's faces. The night temperature on the grassland is originally colder than the daytime, and the splashing water turns into ice Not kidding.
"We have some sweet potato vermicelli tonight too!" The person who went to the room to pick up the food spit out the door, and happily put the vat of sweet potato flour next to the stove: "Come and get the bowl, how many whistle you need to add."
"Today the snacks are still sugar cubes? Isn't there the big candy like the last time?"
"Where will the excellence award be given out every day, besides, you didn't have a good one!"
"Xia has a share! Yes, Xia, last time Ayun will send you that big candy cube."
Xia turned her head and smiled, without saying a word... Of course he was a little bit self-satisfied in his heart. Another golden cat received that special chunk of cut candy.
The cat clan's food intake is only three to a quarter of that of the Snow Werewolf. A room big and small cat clan is fed with a bucket of powder. After drinking the hot and fragrant sugar at the bottom of the bowl, a group of cats lazily slumped on the kang and rubbed their belly.
"Xia, you can read the most words, read the story to us." A newly grown snow leopard rolled lazily on the kang, leaned close to Xia, and licked Xia Xia's face with his tongue.
"Okay, what story do you wanna listen to?" Xia imitated the smiling face that Ayun always held, very kind and honest.
"I want to hear ghost stories, where do you keep the bark paper of ghost stories?"
"Hey, no, I want to hear the mermaid princess~"
"Ghost stories, ghost stories!"
"You can read one first, then read another one." Xia smiled and took a stack of bark paper from the roommate, turned to a page of ghost stories, and said, "In the western part of the human kingdom, a traveler passed by a small town..."
